Ed Sheeran has revealed that he\u2019s set to enter the studio with Bring Me The Horizon.
On Tuesday night (February 8), Sheeran teamed up with the metal group for a reworked version of his 2021 track \u2018Bad Habits\u2019 to open the BRIT Awards 2022.
Speaking to The Daily Star (via The List), Sheeran said that getting to perform with Bring Me The Horizon was \u201ca dream\u201d and they\u2019re now \u201cgoing to write a song together\u201d.
\u201cI got in touch with [Oli Sykes] and we were going to write together but then the pandemic happened, so we were in touch \u2013 I\u2019ve been a fan for a long time,\u201d he said. \u201cOddly enough, that\u2019s the kind of music I grew up listening to.\u201d
Elsewhere in the interview, Sheeran said: \u201c\u2019Bad Habits\u2019 would be a bit of a wet fart if I was just going up there [at the BRITs] and playing it normally. The song is EDM, and [Bring Me The Horizon have] took it and made it a whole new thing. I was just like, \u2018You know what, these guitars are going to be great\u2019.\u201d
\u201cIt was a week\u2019s turnaround \u2013 we emailed each other two weeks ago, recorded it a week ago and rehearsed it three days ago,\u201d continued the pop star, seemingly confirming that a studio recording of the track exists.
It\u2019s not the first time that Sheeran has spoken about a heavy metal collaboration either. Cradle Of Filth\u2019s Dani Filth hinted at a future collaboration with the singer after Sheeran revealed that he was \u201creally into death metal as a kid\u201d.
\u201cI think the Ed Sheeran collaboration would be great fun,\u201d said Filth. \u201cI think it\u2019d be great if we did it for charity because at least it would bring a bit of credibility to it. Because obviously to his public, it\u2019d be like \u2018Oh my god, he\u2019s got this weird comical guy\u2019, and to my public, it\u2019d be like \u2018Oh my god, this is a bit weird, isn\u2019t it?\u2019 But I think that sort of thing, nowadays, works.\u201d
Bring Me The Horizon will perform the closing set at the BandLab NME Awards 2022.
The wildest night in music will return to London\u2019s O2 Academy Brixton on Wednesday, March 2 to celebrate the best in music and entertainment from around the globe. Tickets to the event are on sale now and available here.
\u201cTo be honest we\u2019re surprised we\u2019ve even been asked back at all!\u201d said Sykes. \u201cWhat a huge honour it is to be asked to close the prestigious NME Awards show, we\u2019re literally buzzing.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
